CRONIN'S BABY GIRL
---
She Dies While Her Father Is in Prison
on a Charge of Disturbing
the Peace
A pathetic incident occurred at the City Prison on Sunday afternoon. James Cronin, a hardworking teamster living at 936 Harrison Street, was arrested late Saturday night by Policemen O'Keefe and Lynch for disturbing the peace, He was taken to the Southern station, and being unable to procure bail was locked up for the night. Yesterday morning he was removed with other prisoners to the City Prison.
Yesterday afternoon a friend called at the prison to see him and conveyed the sad news that his baby girl had died during the night and his wife was prostrated. Cronin broke down and begged his friend to get him out of prison. His friend hurried, to Judge Conlan's residence and told the Judge the facts. He immediately drove down to the prison and released Cronin on his own recognizance.
Cronin had only left the prison a few minutes when a pretty little tot made her appearance and asked if her papa was there. She said his name was James Cronin and her baby sister had died and she wanted to see her papa.
